5.0 out of 5 stars A useful lesson for kids August 17, 2008
Format:Paperback
It's so hard for kids to be who they really are - with the media and harsh 'cool kids' at school dictating what's 'right' and 'wrong' - Spaghetti in a Hot Dog Bun helps drive home the message that being different is what's actually cool. And being mean - isn't! I love this book and wish all kids (and many adults actually!), had the chance to read it. It's a life lesson that'll carry them through some tough times. The illustrations are really cute, too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book for Kids April 1, 2010
By L. Hunt
Format:Paperback
I wanted to find a special book to read to my daughter's first grade class that addressed bullying a bit, but also that words hurt. This book covered that as well as delivering the message to always be the best person you can be even though kids around you are being mean. Be true to yourself. The teacher loved the book and the message. I would definitely recommend this book. The kids enjoyed it very much!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish all children were like Lucy! August 17, 2008
Format:Paperback
As a kid, I was seldomly picked on in school. Reading this book, reminded me of how mean some kids can truly be. Being a bully isn't a cool thing at all. This is a wonderful book for children of all ages! A critical lesson is learned on how to help make this world a happier place with less bully's!

Beautiful artwork compliments this heartfelt story!

My grandchildren liked it more than I did. I think the "hair" was a bit overdone. The theory was right on.

I use this as a counselor with 2nd graders. The lesson obviously is about dare to be yourself but also for others to be excepting of differences. This is an adorable book.
